Scratch built LVT-2 (wip)

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Oh, I am jealous! RC or not, your AMTRAC is so interesting. A bit of a side question: do the tracks, sprocket, idler, road (mud? sand?) wheels roll? It looks as if they do. (I have this silly quirk about static models: I like propellers to be free to turn and tracks to work, even if the thing just sits on a shelf. This seems to be another way that, across the long, but all-too-short years, I have not abandoned all my childhood characteristics. )

Hi,
Thanks for your comments.
Yes everything rolls and even the 3D tracks but it will definitely remain a static kit.

Hi,
Here it is on its tracks.
May the end be soon?
Stay tuned...

Incredible work/model. I was considering an attempt at one of those but I think it is WAY over my abilities.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

I like it! I like it! My congratulations on your fine accomplishment. Will it have Marines aboard? Any ideas?

Thank you for your comments.

It will have a figurine but as it is a LVT used in D-Day, will be a US Navy.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Might these be the sailors?

You're pretty close.
